"I was so surprised when they walked Torii," Moreno grinned. "All you've got to do is watch Vlady taking BP to know he still hits the [tar] out of the ball."

I'm not surprised they walked Torii
I would have done the same thing. Vlad wasn’t having a great series up to that point.
I guess I suck as a manager as much as Francona :)
GO ANGELS!!!!!!
RIP Nick. We will miss you!
I thought this was the smart move too
But this is why I manage from the sofa and the television rarely listens.
"Death to the opposition!" - Commander Worf, First Baseman: The Niners
My point was......
that Moreno’s comment might shine some light on his thoughts regarding Vlad’s future with the Angels.
In fairness,
a healthy Vlad takes that much solid wood on a fastball over the plate and at the knees and sends it into orbit, not one hop to CF. That game winning hit actually proved that, right now, Vlad is a shell of himself. Meanwhile, Torii is still in his prime.
Besides, you also set up a force out at every base to close out the game.
The worst thing is the day you realize you want to win more than the players do. - Gene Mauch
